    This is a good Magic Kingdom food option. I recommend doing mobile ordering and pick your food up, instead of waiting in a long line. They give you a pickup time after placing your order. The food prices were reasonable, and the food was good.

    Grabbed a quick bite early during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. Ordered the patty melt, which comes with plant based cheddar cheese, grilled onions and asteroid sauce on Texas toast. The burger was good, but the toast gets chewy after sitting for a little bit. The fries were cold, so they remade them and the replacement order was hot. It did not take too long to get the food and there was seating. The dance party in the lower level wasn't so loud and didn't overpower the other music.

    On our visit to Magic Kingdom Orlando we wanted a sit down restaurant but needed a reservation which we normally always do. So we decided to do a walk up with a dinning area and choose Cosmic Rays which the cheeseburger was pretty good and chicken nuggets were really good. The Lunar lemonade and Sully slush were excellent!

    Their chicken strips with ranch smells so good, a lady walked by while we were still in line and I can smell the tasty ranch flavor! Lines are very long and indoor seating is extremely limited. Service is pretty slow so wait time is about 15 minutes at least. Ambiance is like a food court.

    Stopped here for a quick snack and had a great experience! The food was delicious, fresh, and came out quickly. It was the perfect spot for a convenient and tasty bite.

    I feel like it's usually so hard to find indoor seating, but it was so easy here! You can also refill your water bottle and use the bathroom while you're here, making this a great pit stop, especially in the heat of a Florida summer. The food is pretty good too! While still on the pricier side, it was better than what I expected. We got the black garlic, truffle, and parmesan fries and they were delicious! They really don't skimp on the sauce or cheese. And the fries were pretty crispy. And if you just get plain fries, they provide so many sauces here: ketchup, barbecue, honey mustard, mayo, ranch.

    Able to order on the phone. Delicious truffle burger. Lots of flavor. Lots of seating inside but decided to eat outside to watch the parade.

    I came here one day with my sister and her family when they were in town visiting. It was a long day at MK, and we wanted some food, so we came here, to Cosmic Ray's. It's one of the busiest counter service restaurants in all of WDW, but in the chaos, it is actually very efficient. No real ambiance to speak of. I think there used to be a singing alien in the corner or something, but now it's just a building with seats. Which is fine. It does its job. Service was pretty ok, too. Friendly faces at the registers, friendly folks handing you your order, taking requests on asking for extra veggies trays. No issues with service at all. As for the good, I was surprised with how good it was. Of course it was overpriced, but it wasn't as overpriced as other spots on Disney property. I think way too many families of 4+ slide in and out of this place for the prices to be too high. I ordered the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich (Crispy Chicken Breast, Pickle Slaw, and Spicy Aïoli on a Brioche Bun served with French Fries). Nice, soft bun. Large, crispy chicken patty. Shoestring fries with unlimited amounts of ketchup. I was pretty pleased. I also got to sample the Triple-B Burger (Angus Beef Patty with Bacon, Cheddar Spread, Crispy Onions, and Coca-Cola® Cherry-Barbecue Sauce on a Brioche Bun served with French Fries), one of their signature items, with an upgrade side of Black Garlic, Truffle, and Parmesan Fries (French Fries topped with Black Garlic-Truffle Aïoli and Parmesan). Wow! This burger was out of this world. A good, charred burger patty with bacon that was actually crisp and played a role in this burger. Gooey cheese, more crisp from the onions, and that sweet BBQ sauce that counteracts the heaviness from the rest of the burger. Delicious. Definitely recommend this. Overall, I was very pleasantly surprised with this place. Gonna make this one of my go-to places for when I come to MK.

    Pros: Really conveniently located within Magic Kingdom. Not too far out of the way. Service was nice enough. It's only counter service, but everyone was friendly and smiling. Food was surprisingly good! We had a good chicken sandwich and an even better bacon cheeseburger. Cons: No real cons. The price was even right, for Disney property. Tips: Both sandwiches we tried were worth it value-wise. So maybe their other menu items will satisfy you, too.

    I'm ready to be beamed up and spend some extra time at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café. Located in the Tomorrowland section of the Magic Kingdom Theme Park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café is a counter service restaurant that is both fast-casual counter ordering and modern ordering via the Disney World app. What brought our large group here for dinner was a recent visit to the "Happiest Place on Earth" and as we usually did our tour of this vast park in a clockwise setting, we would eventually land on Tomorrowland. After thinking about our options, we decided that dining at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café was the best option for our group. Of course, visiting around the holiday season, the entire park was packed with visitors and Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café was no exception. Cosmic Ray's has a menu consisting mostly of stereotypical American theme park food, and is organized into three bays with one of them specifically designated to pick up your order when made through the Disney World app. The menu at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café consists mostly of stereotypical American theme park food, and is separated into categories including Entrées, Plant Based, Sides, Kid's Meals, Desserts, Speciality Beverages, Beverages, and their various allergy-free menu entrées. Since their menu was rather straight-forward and simple I ordered their Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich, which featured a deep-fried crispy Chicken Breast topped with Pickle Slaw and Spicy Aïoli served on a Brioche Bun served with French Fries. To drink, since their beverages at this location were all fountain drinks, I ordered their Lunar Lemonade, which was a combination of Minute Maid Lemonade with Desert Pear Syrup served over ice. It was actually quite busy at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café the evening we visited, so the food took longer than we expected. Once the food was ready for pickup, we received a text via the app indicating which "bay" to go to, a system I have to give Disney credit for. It's well-organized and streamlines the entire process of ordering, payment, and distribution. Another big plus at Cosmic Ray's is the toppings bar, which lets you customize your burger and make it substantially larger than the average burger at Walt Disney World. By adding extra lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions, you can enhance what's already a solid meal, which is definitely a highlight for any value-conscious diner. In itself, my chicken sandwich at Cosmic Ray's is nothing special. It's not awful, it's just nothing to write home about. My total bill came out to just over $20--which, in Disney dollars, is quite reasonable. After a full day in the park, getting a filling meal at an affordable price point was a refreshing change of pace. That said, it's worth noting that my drink was nearly half the cost of my chicken sandwich, and unfortunately, the overly sweet flavor didn't justify the price. I do wish Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café leaned more into themed dining and that the culinary team that they employ put a little bit more effort into the meal, something as simple as toasting the bun would've made a real difference. What makes Cosmic Ray's stand out, though, is its most delightfully odd and uniquely present-day Walt Disney World character, who goes by the random name of "Sonny Eclipse". This Audio-Animatronic alien performs a 20-minute musical set on the Astro Organ, complete with corny jokes and backup vocals from his Space Angels, entertaining guests in the main dining area. Why has Disney let this "attraction" stay when it no doubt costs a pretty penny to maintain is anyone's guess. A place that is affordable, fast, and with plenty of seating, Cosmic Ray's is surprisingly a great place to enjoy a quick meal, and ideally before your next ride leaves you a little queasy (and hopefully, it's not Space Mountain!).

    This is a very average meal at the Magic Kingdom. Like most of this park the food is simply okay with nothing of serious note. Chicken Sandwich was super spicy but solid. Burger was very average. The thing that drives this place is the ambience. Different than other cafeteria style places it at least leans into its place in Tomorrowland with a futuristic feel. Would be a place to check out within the park.

    For lunch while at Disney World we ate at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. They serve sandwiches, burgers, fries, chicken tenders and no refill drinks unless you pay extra for it. It was very crowded, and you can order online. I don't recommend ordering online, it's faster to wait in line and order from a live person.(speaking from experience from my niece online ordering) it was hard to find a table, but we lucked up and everyone found a table, just not near each other. I ordered the chicken tenders and fries, and they weren't bad. Mahogany a young lady giving out Bday pins and first Disney visit pins was so nice. She gave me a bday pin, and it was nice getting bday wishes EVERY time someone saw my pin. Cosmic Ray's is not cheap, but not as expensive as other places to eat at WDW. If you looking for a budget friendly place to eat check out Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe.

    We ate here for lunch while we were enjoying the sights Tomorrow Land had to offer! This is a Quick Meals place to have a walk up order and try to find a table! The table are many but this place gets crowded and there definitely isn't enough tables. The concept is cafeteria styled. Self serve and pick up your own condiments and plasticware with the meal plan drinks were included! The staff keeps on top of the housekeeping! My favorite is the Chicken Tenders and Fries in any of these quick meal areas! The crowded seating does detract from this area but the friendly efficient staff adds to it!

    Repulsive Impossible burger - toast was like rubber.  I don't think it's real food.

That said, the experience was quick, easy, and painless if you're looking to get your caffeine fix before a full day in the parks. The space itself has a really nice ambience that fits the Polynesian's theming well. Being a newer concept, it feels fresh and polished without the wear you see at some of the older resort quick-service spots. Would I come back? Probably, especially for convenience if I'm already over at the Poly. Just going to ask for easy ice next time!

The menu is preset so be aware of that going in, but the menu is pretty kid (and adult) friendly as it's Thanksgiving themed. The interior is beautiful and it's a nice, relaxing spot to eat at for a break. Our waiter was very friendly and the food came out pretty quick. As a heads up this is an all you can eat establishment (for around $40-45 bucks a head) so you can eat to your heart's desire. The meal starts off with their house salad featuring greens, apples, cranberries, and cheese all tossed together. It was surprisingly much better than we thought it would be and if not for maximizing what we ate while there we wouldn't have minded getting more. Following up the salad is a feast of: roasted turkey, pot roast, pork loin, mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, and Mac and cheese. We absolutely dove in. The turkey was alright, not dry (a huge plus) with the pot roast being a much better option in our opinion. The pork loin was delicious with a nice sweet glaze on it. The mac and cheese likewise was good and creamy along with a savory and filling stuffing. The only misses we would say were the mashed potatoes which felt thin and flavorless and then the green beans which really just took up space. For dessert they have their oooey gooey toffee cake which is very sweet but admittedly difficult to put down after the main course. It's not overly sweet too which is nice to finish your meal on. By the end of our meal we were stuffed and ready to tackle the rest of the night. We would say for the price this might not be the best option for those doing Disney on a budget but if you are a pro at making buffets stretch then this is a decent deal. A solid, filling meal all around and one that is very palette friendly for all.

    If you ever find yourself strolling through Magic Kingdom with a craving for comfort food that…read morefeels like Thanksgiving at Grandma's... let me point you straight to the duo of The Diamond Horseshoe and Liberty Tree Tavern. What many guests don't realize is that the Diamond Horseshoe isn't just a quick-service stop or a random overflow location--it's actually an extension of Liberty Tree Tavern, sharing the same kitchen and serving up the exact same all-you-care-to-enjoy feast. The difference? You're dining in a space that once hosted a full-on dinner show, complete with musical performances. Today, the stage still lives on with an automated piano, giving just a hint of that old-school Disney charm. Honestly, I would've loved to experience it in its heyday. Now let's talk about the real star of the show: the food. This is classic, hearty, family-style comfort food done right. Your meal kicks off with a fresh salad, and then comes the main event--a platter that feels like it was prepared for royalty. We're talking tender pot roast, juicy pork loin, creamy mashed potatoes, and rich, homemade mac and cheese. Everything is refillable, so come hungry. And just when you think you're done... enter the legendary ooey gooey toffee cake. Warm, sweet, and absolutely worth saving room for. It's the kind of dessert that makes you pause mid-bite and go, "yeah... this is why we came." What really makes this experience shine is the value. At around $45 for adults and $24 for kids, it's one of the better table-service deals in the park--especially for an all-you-care-to-enjoy meal that the whole family can get behind. Our son loved it, which always seals the deal. A little Disney history moment: back in the day, the Diamond Horseshoe featured a musical revue similar to Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue. That ran until 2003, when it transitioned into additional seating for Liberty Tree Tavern. The theming today is slightly different, but the menu and quality remain consistent. Pro tip (from a Cast Member): if you're eligible, that 40% discount for breakfast and dinner makes this an absolute steal. At the end of the day, this is one of those experiences that feels like home--just with a little extra Disney magic sprinkled on top. So pull up a chair, pass the mashed potatoes, and enjoy a family-style feast right in the heart of the most magical place on earth.

The restaurant has a warm rustic design with exposed wood, tall ceilings, and large windows that create an inviting atmosphere while giving you views of the surrounding Disney Springs area. It feels like a relaxed place to slow down during a busy day of shopping and exploring, especially if you are looking for a full sit-down meal instead of a quick bite. The food was the biggest highlight of my visit, with the menu focusing on hearty Southern dishes that are meant to be shared or enjoyed as a satisfying meal. The Art's Famous Fried Chicken was easily the standout, with a crispy exterior, juicy interior, and the kind of comforting flavor you expect from a well-executed fried chicken dish. The sides helped make the meal even better, especially the creamy mac and cheese, cheddar cheese drop biscuits, and sweet potato mash. Everything felt generous in portion size, so it is definitely the type of restaurant where arriving hungry is the right move. The drink menu adds another unique part of the experience, especially with the selection of moonshine-based cocktails. The Moonshine Flyte and fruit-infused moonshine drinks offer something different from a typical restaurant bar menu and pair well with the heavier Southern dishes. The bar area also has a lively atmosphere, making it a good option if you want to stop by for a drink or a smaller snack without committing to a full dining experience. Since Homecomin' is one of the more popular restaurants at Disney Springs, planning ahead is important. During busy lunch and dinner hours, getting a table without a reservation can be difficult, and advance dining reservations are usually the best way to avoid a long wait. The service during my visit was friendly and attentive, with the staff doing a good job managing the busy dining room while keeping the meal moving at a comfortable pace. Overall, Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' is one of the strongest table-service options at Disney Springs for a filling and memorable meal. The combination of flavorful Southern comfort food, generous portions, welcoming atmosphere, and creative moonshine drinks makes it a restaurant worth planning around. It offers a dining experience that feels distinct from typical theme park food while still fitting perfectly into a Disney Springs visit.

Island Provisions (Plantain Chips, Blue Corn Tortillas, and Toasted Flatbread served with Mango Chutney, Garlic Chimichurri, Spiced Guava, and Zesty Culantro Cream Dips). This was fun. You'll certainly be picking at it for your whole stay. I love a trio of dips. Cook's Corn Griddle Cakes with Chipotle-braised Chicken (Warm Corn Cakes stuffed with Melted Cheese, Lime Sour Cream, Chili Peppers, and Cotija). Best food item there. A version of arepas with melty, cheesy chicken, and some good foils with the limey cream and the cotija. A good little dish. Kraken's Catch (Octopus Tentacles marinated in Lemon and Lime Juice with Olives, Bell Peppers, Avocado, and Piquillo Pepper-Almond Foam). This was pretty good. Tentacles were nice, not too tough, and the foam was a nice gastronomic touch that added some great flavor. Too many olives. Lol. Overall, this was a nice place. You won't regret coming here, but you might not come back a second time.

    I had a grand time at the Beak and Barrel, though I understand the crew only gives ye about an hour…read morebefore sending ye back into the wilds of the Magic Kingdom. Fear not, matey--an hour be plenty of time to explore the place, admire the decorations, and sample the spirits. Once our time was up, we were even allowed to wander about and continue exploring without issue. There be a two-drink limit, but that didn't trouble me much, seeing as the drinks pack enough punch to knock a sailor clean off the deck. They offer food as well, though we didn't order any. The whole experience is a great deal of fun, and I'm glad Disney finally brought a proper pirate watering hole to the park. At the moment, the Beak and Barrel be mighty popular, so securing a reservation can be harder than finding buried treasure. If ye be attending one of the special ticketed events, such as Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, ye may have better luck finding an opening. Speaking of treasure, as I was leaving, I discovered an ancient map tucked beneath a barrel. The map led me through Adventureland, past the pirates, beyond the jungle, and straight into a gift shop. There, I purchased another treasure map, which promised to lead me to riches beyond imagination. I followed it carefully through winding passages, suspiciously expensive souvenirs, and several racks of pirate merchandise. At last, I reached the final destination marked with a great red X. The treasure was the Beak and Barrel. Apparently, I had gone in a circle. Still, I found a table, ordered another drink, and declared the expedition a glorious success. Five doubloons out of five.
